Ephesus was an ancient Greek city, built on site of the former Arzawan capital and later a major Roman city. The site contains the largest collection of Roman ruins in the eastern Mediterranean. One of the highlights is the Library of Celsus, the façade of which has been carefully reconstructed from all original pieces. It was originally built c. 125 AD in memory of Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, an Ancient Greek, who served as governor of Roman Asia (105–107) in the Roman Empire. Celsus paid for the construction of the library with his own personal wealth and is buried in a sarcophagus beneath it. The library was mostly built by his son Gaius Julius Aquila and once held nearly 12,000 scrolls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephesus
